# Deploy and Host Memos on Railway

## About Hosting

Memos is an open-source, self-hosted note-taking application built for fast capture, lightweight knowledge management, and personal or team documentation. Railway is a managed hosting platform that offers simple deployment, public networking, HTTPS, and persistent storage options while allowing users to retain control over their data.

## Tech Stack

- Application: Memos
- Runtime: Go monolithic app
- Database: SQLite (embedded by default)
- Storage: Persistent volume mounted at `/var/opt/memos`

## Why Deploy on Railway

- Supports simple Docker image deployment
- Provides persistent storage without server maintenance
- Includes built-in public domain and TLS
- Makes redeployment and rollback straightforward
- Works well for lightweight self-hosted productivity apps

## Common Use Cases

- Personal knowledge base and daily notes
- Team internal updates and lightweight documentation
- Self-hosted alternative to cloud note apps
- Quick capture for ideas, tasks, and internal records

## Deployment Notes

- This deployment uses the pinned container image `neosmemo/memos:0.26.2`
- The application listens on port `5230`
- Railway routing should use `PORT=5230`
- The application itself should also be configured with `MEMOS_PORT=5230`
- Persistent data should be stored through a mounted volume at `/var/opt/memos`
- The default SQLite database is stored inside the mounted volume
